I used to love doing those logic problems where you use a huge insane looking grid to figure out which people lived in what color house and in what order on the street, etc. Someone at Babble pointed this site out to me:http://www.puzzles.com/projects/LogicProblems.html

It's just like the paper and pencil kind, except it's online. You can check the boxes right on your screen, and get a confirmation when you've solved the entire puzzle correctly. New puzzles are posted monthly. Enjoy!

Your Score: Pure Nerd

69 % Nerd, 34% Geek, 34% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.

Ha! I finally got the bugger! This guy has been tormenting me the past few nights. Doug would tell me he was out in the back yard, and I'd go stalking him with my camera, only to either not find him at all, or to see the dust off his tail feathers. The first one shows off his brilliant feathers. The second clearly shows why I've had trouble catching him once he decided to run! And the third is pretty much typical of the past few nights, seeing him blaze off into the distance.
